Campers at Cary's 2012 Ecology Camp "Limno-Explorers: Discovering the World of Water"

The theme for 2013 Summer Ecology Camp is "Journey through the Cycles of Life." While exploring the hills, valleys, ponds, and streams of our 2,000-acre campus, campers will conduct scientific investigations, learn about local natural history, and participate in team building activities.

Lessons will incorporate observing how organisms change as they grow, investigating the connections organisms have with their environment, and witnessing how they interact with other living things.

Weekly sessions are limited to a maximum of 12 campers and are dedicated to either younger campers (grades 2-4) or older campers (grades 5-7). A special two-week session will be offered for older youth (grades 8-10), where they have the opportunity to conduct their own ecological research.

Junior counselor positions will be offered for students entering grades 8-12.
